Camber - Composite Beams
Camber - Composite Beams
(OP)
How do you camber a beam? I know what camber is, but do not know when to specify that a beam is to be cambered.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Camber - Composite Beams
Cambering is typically performed through a mechanical bending process by the fabricator in the shop.
Camber is often specified when the anticipated deflection would present a serviceability issue. Typically, camber is considered for the deflection due to the dead load (although dead load and live load could also be considered together).
Good Luck.
